Commercial Air Quality Solutions
Indoor air quality (IAQ) relates to the quality of air in a building and how it affects the health and comfort of its occupants. Factors such as gases, microbial contaminants, and particulates affect commercial indoor air quality.
Various government agencies have issued standards regarding creating and maintaining healthy IAQ levels to promote a safe, healthy, and comfortable environment. Failure to comply with standards set by state and federal agencies could result not just in fines, but also in productivity losses and health problems.

Commercial Air Quality Components
Commercial Humidity Control
Dehumidifiers remove excess moisture from the air and help prevent mold growth.
Humidifiers help by:
- Reducing the spread of germs
- Making arid conditions feel more comfortable
- Protecting equipment and office supplies from becoming brittle
Commercial Air Filtration
High-efficiency air filters improve IAQ by trapping airborne particulates as small as 1.0 microns.
Ventilation Equipment
Ventilation systems replace indoor air with fresh outdoor air, helping to control the exposure to contaminants—including gases—that are airborne.
They also assist with maintaining temperatures and relative humidity levels and may be designed to move a certain amount of air at a specific speed.
Monitoring Equipment
Air monitoring instruments gauge:
- temperatures
- humidity levels
- airborne particles
- carbon dioxide
- carbon monoxide levels
- outdoor air calculations
They help ensure occupant comfort and a healthy IAQ.
